Summary In this research, we have developed statistical succession model of the riverine flora using physical and ecological factors. The models of multivariate analysis are built for each vegetation combination using ca. 10-km data of middle reaches in three rivers. Willow species and bare land are well simulated, on the other hand the change to or from Amur silver-grass, Miscanthus sacchariflorus shows less accuracy.
